Vista has developed a love of vomiting forth Blue Screens of Death since it acquired a certain patch, and yet the patch refuses to uninstall.

I am beginning to consider formatting the d**ned thing and installing XP.

"I grab the sword!""Mmkay, you're dead.""What!?""You just grabbed the sword of the god you were just personally responsible for banishing from the world for the next ten thousand years. You just got zapped by around a billion volts of Angry Divine Power. You're dead."

When Vista was through with me, I suddenly found myself installing Linux. Me, after years of exercising my mouse-pushing skills, forced to that horrible command line. I went through so many versions... there was the 95, sweet and self-destructing. The 2000, more stable but hard to get used to. And then, XP... it felt like home. I didn't use any Service Packs! I loved the fast unsafe life of full privileges without any silly user management rules. Those were the days.

Alas, I have so many fertile ideas that demand release and yet so little time to breathe them into birth. Are my grotesque creations to no longer to prowl the dank passageways of the Citadel? Woe is me! How foolish I was to underestimate the ruthless toll that the pursuit of high education would make on my life Indeed, I shall follow the example of older and wiser Strolenites and weep bitter tears.

Alas, is there no salvation from the Blues?! May the many gods of the Citadel have mercy on us, for the prophecies contained within The Book have none!

... And just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, then they get much worse. So you think, "gee, I guess that first part wasn't so bad after all." Because every silver lining has a BIG dark stormcloud...
